The idea of the Olympic Games absolutely captivated the modern 19th century nationalities.
A Frenchman called Baron de Coubertin may be the famous person behind the actual revival of the modern Olympic Games as we know them today. At the end of nineteenth century he had an idea to bring the Olympic Games back to life. Following his suggestion, fifteen nations met at an international congress in 1894. Two years later, the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens. Since then they have been staged every fourth year, except during World War I and World War II. Perhaps the main difference between the ancient and modern Olympics is that for the ancient Greeks the Games were a way of saluting their gods, when the modern Games are a manner of saluting the athletic talents of people of all nations.

Although football of a kind was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, as an organized game it dates from just over a century ago. One type of football, in which only the feet are used, was adopted at Cambridge in 1848; the other type, in which the ball is handled as well as kicked, was first played at Rugby School, whence it derives its name, and was adopted by the Blackheath football club in 1859.
The principal professional matches in England and Wales (played once or twice weekly) are controlled by the Football League, which comprises over 90 professional clubs in these countries.

Rugby Football (“rugger”) is played under the auspices of the Rugby Football Union, established in 1871. The rules of the game are completely different from those that govern soccer, and there are 15 players, instead of 11, in a side. International matches between England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and France are played regularly at the leading rugby football grounds of each country, including Twickenham, London - the headquarters of the Rugby Football Union - and there are tours by international teams to and from New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. Other important rugger matches are the county championship competitions, the annual match between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the Hospitals’ Cup final, and the Inter-Service tournament.
